Today's kids don't read, right? Wrong, io9 reports: A Pew survey finds that some 67% of those ages 16 to 29 read a book at least once a week—more than the 58% of adults ages 30 and older who do so.

Meanwhile, 43% of the younger group reads daily or almost daily, compared to 40% of the older group. The under-30s also visit the library at about the same rate as the 30-plus set.

But millennials are less likely than older folks to say public libraries are key parts of their communities, the Atlantic reports. And when it comes to reading the news, the older group does it more often—64% read it in print or online daily or almost daily, compared to 55% of the younger group.
